Advent?

 He's coming . . . . yet already arrived! 

So what is "Advent" anyway? I know most do not even mention it today. We talk about Black Friday, Winter Break and the holidays . . . even Season's Greetings. Somehow the Advent Season has been lost! It is the celebrated and anticipated arrival of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We both recall from the past and anticipate the future. Jesus came to rule and shepherd Israel, He rules and shepherds us today, and will rule and shepherd the entire world once again in eternity when He returns! These are the HOLY-days!


“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting to everlasting.” . . . (Micah 5:2)

As we anticipate His return, may we celebrate the fact that He has come into our hearts today to rule and reign. Have you invited Him into your heart? Does He rule in your life today? Welcome Him today . . . welcome to the Advent Season . . . celebrate Advent!
